    Hi we are not experts regarding buying a property. I suggest you to walk around the area you like and consult some of the real estate office (부동산) to see what's available. For hanoks, I've heard that you may need to completely renovate, which isn't going to be easy as the properties mostly likely be very old.

    Here in Seoul, we think that realestate as an investment and it is huge expensive so usually get mortgage😂😂

    Hi, you can renew your contract as long as the landlord agrees as well. Some cases a landlord wants to end the contract for whatever reasons, but otherwise you can keep renewing the contract. It's case by case.Thank you for watching!

    The problem is it is far too expensive to buy a house there. A house there can be even more expensive than a house in Australia which is considered to be very overvalued.

    That’s very true. But if you are willing to look outside of Seoul, it maybe is a bit more affordable. But we hear you! It’s expensive. 💸💸💸

    So for a Jeonsae you have to pay the bank back 200million KRW in two years? that’s like over 7million krw per month plus interest maybe I’m not understanding properly could you explain more.

  • @ACoupleofNomads

    Hi, no, so the way it will work is that you will be paying the interest to the bank every month. Since you get the money back at the end of 2 year contract unless you extend it, you can pay back the principal balance at the end of your housing contract. So, it's just an interest payment every month. Does that make sense?

    It depends on what's on your contract. For us, if we were to break the contract (when there is no obvious reason) we have to find next tenant and pay for that tenant's realtor's commission.
